It is unclear if he might also face drug-related charges after first responders found, in addition to several bottles of Don Julio alcohol, suspected cocaine and dagga edibles in his car at the scene.

In footage from another car's dashcam, recorded at about 7am along Andrew Mapheto Drive in Tembisa and posted to X by @pmcafrica, a red hatchback with a mother and her two young occupants — and what appears to be a white Toyota Corolla travelling next to it — can be seen driving slightly ahead.

The car recording the footage swerves to the left of the road behind the Toyota at the same time as the other two. At that moment, Mogaila's black car careened down from the opposite lane and collided head-on with the red vehicle.

His car crashed into the one recording. The impact sent it veering, and as a result, its windscreen was extensively damaged.

A woman's voice can be heard panicking as she hyperventilates. Some cars on the route, still seen from the dashcam, continue their early-morning commutes.

Mogaila reportedly fled, leaving the wreckage behind, and later surrendered himself to a police station, where he was booked and charged.

According to an Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD) report, the female motorist in the red hatchback was ferrying her children — nine and 13-year-old girls — to school at the time of the incident.

Emergency services pulled the woman and the 13-year-old girl from the wreckage and rushed them to Tembias Tertiary Hospital in a serious condition.
